Groupe Aeroplan Amends its Credit Facilities

MONTREAL, May 9 - Groupe Aeroplan Inc. (TSX: AER) ("Groupe
Aeroplan" or the "Corporation") announced today that it concluded an
amendment to its existing credit facilities with its lending syndicate.
The Corporation repaid $100 million outstanding under its term facility
with funds drawn from its revolving facility, and the term facility was
terminated.

The new secured credit facility, which now only consists of a revolving
facility of $300 million, matures April 23, 2014. It ranks pari passu with Groupe Aeroplan's Senior Secured Notes Series 1 due April 23,
2012, Series 2 due September 2, 2014 and Series 3 due January 26, 2017.

Reflecting current market conditions and the Corporation's current
credit ratings, interest rates have been reduced to Canadian prime rate
plus 1.25% and Bankers' Acceptance and LIBOR rates plus 2.25%.
Depending on the Corporations' credit ratings, interest rates under the
facility may vary within a range of Canadian prime rate plus 0.75% to
2.00%; and Bankers' Acceptance and LIBOR rates plus 1.75% to 3.00%. The
Corporation may also borrow in £ sterling, Euros and US dollars. The
new facility includes amendments to certain restrictive covenants,
including covenants relating to distributions and the redemption
reserve, which will provide the Corporation with additional flexibility
to execute its strategic plan.

The lending syndicate, which is co-led by RBC Capital Markets, TD
Securities and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, also includes Bank
of Montreal, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of America N.A., JP Morgan
Chase Bank, N.A., National Bank of Canada and HSBC Bank Canada.
